A 4-post frame is generally made of the same materials/thickness as a 2-post frame. The advantage to the 4-post frame is that you have two mounting points on each side, so you can mount things like pull-outs for servers, keyboards, whatever.

I need to know if I need the extra support at the top of the frame like a 2 post needs.<br />
I can mount pull-outs, monitors, sliding rails, monitors on a 2 post frames, the idea for a 4 post frame is for heaver, deeper, and more equipment.

I have a little bit of experience with 2 post racks but none with 4 post racks. I am buying a 4 post open rack and was wondering if it is still necessary to tie in support at the top of the rack with a cable runway. On 2 post racks it’s a must they are to flimsy otherwise, but what about 4 post racks are they secure enough without this extra support.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
